Firebreak begins
with two plot threads—Parker planning a heist, Parker trying to figure out who
wants him dead—that Starklake soon ties together. The heist, involving stolen
art secreted away in an isloated mansion, is a good one, and just when you
think the plot has stablized, complications invariably arise. My only complaint
about Firebreak is that the
jack-in-the-box appearances of some complications feel artless. In particular,
the inclusion two men on the job—Harry Corbett and Bob Dolan—desperate for money
so that they can skip on bail only distracts from a solid entry in the Parker series. Grade: B
